I use the Online Web Editor for IOT cloud.

I tried the Boot+En Button method, Didnt work.

I switched through Many Esp32

With the IDE Serial monitor screen showing;

Hold down the Boot switch.
Presss and release the EN\Reset switch.

What text appears in the IDE Serial monitor ?

Some dev-board based on ESP32 are not able to entering in download mode automatically.

You can fix quickly this issue with a small capacitor between GND and EN pins.
In this tutorial is used a electrolytic 10uF, but can be also smaller (with mine I've used a 100nF polypropylene capacitor)
